In real life (IRL), your days can very quickly turn into hours of The Twi­light Zone. One moment your get­ting up and mak­ing your morn­ing cof­fee and before you know it, autopi­lot takes over and you find your­self brush­ing your teeth to go to bed thinking…“Uhm…what hap­pened to that to-do list and where did the day go?!” That autopi­lot is a kick in the pants. It’s great for the days when you just need to keep mov­ing or you’ll fall over. But on those days when you need to focus, it steals the hours away.

Autopi­lot takes away the human fac­tor. Even on social media plat­forms, where the point is to be social, Mr. Autopi­lot hits the ‘like’ but­ton with­out giv­ing thoughts. He also gets on Twit­ter (“because I have to”) and sends out a bunch of ReTweets, maybe throws out a few quotes, then calls it a day.

“There aren’t enough hours in the day!”

Oh boy…I get that! But we’re sup­posed to be REAL. So if you’re tired and don’t have an ounce of brain cells to form an update…say that! I bet you get an “Amen!” or two on that one.

I just want to encour­age you, even though you may have days where you feel like Arti­fi­cial Intel­li­gence, you’re the real thing! (…and peo­ple want the real thing!)

*Now that the foun­da­tion of social media is set, we get to move on to the tan­gi­ble jug­gling of social media…See you tomorrow!
